hmmmm. Well, I have a mysql directory and test directory in both of the directories below. Why would it have created those in two places? (Sorry for stupid questions here -- first-time install of MySQL and have been banging my head on this stuff for several days now...)
Only the /usr/local/mysql/var/mysql directory contains host.frm, however. /var/lib/mysql/mysql is empty. Is the latter, instead of the former, where it is looking for host.frm, and therefore giving me: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) and then mysql ended? -----Original Message----- From: Gustavo A.

Check if you data directory is in: /usr/local/mysql/var as specified in your startup script, or in: /var/lib/mysql On redhat using the binary distribution, the data dir is in /var/lib/mysql -------------------------- On December 19, 2001 06:19 pm, Mike Blain wrote: > I keep trying to start it and get this: > > [root@linuxdev1 mysql-3.23.46]# > /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & > [1] 1822 > [root@linuxdev1 mysql-3.23.46]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from > /usr/local/mysql/var > 011219 18:21:40 mysqld ended > > It stats and immediately stops.
